- Executive summary:
The melting point of the test item was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995). In the DSC measurement the first endothermic effect could be observed in the temperature range of 90 – 100 °C, which was followed by second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 320 – 390 °C. The first endothermic effect is assigned to the melting point. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 92.80 °C, this temperature can be used as melting point. The test item has a melting point of 92.8 °C.

In the temperature range of 90 to 100 °C a first endothermic effect could be observed. A second endothermic effect was detected in the temperature range of 320 to 390 °C. No further thermic effects could be observed up to the maximum temperature of 500 °C.
Results of the DSC-measurements
No. | Sample weight / mg | Onset of Effect / °C | Range of effect / °C | Weight loss / mg | Atmospheric pressure / hPa |
PN19667 | 10.05 | 92.70 | 90 – 100 (endo) | 10.05 | 991.9 |
PN19668 | 10.23 | 92.90 | 90 – 100 (endo) | 10.23 | 991.9 |
During the heating phase a distinct endothermic effect was observed in the temperature range of 90 – 100 °C, which can be assigned to the melting of the test item.
As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 92.80 °C, this temperature can be used as melting point. The test item has a melting point of 92.8 °C.
Description of key information
The melting point was determined to be 92.8 °C (reference 4.2-2).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Melting / freezing point at 101 325 Pa:
- 92.8 °C
Additional information
The melting point of the test item was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Method A.1. and OECD Test Guideline 102 (1995). In the DSC measurement the first endothermic effect could be observed in the temperature range of 90 – 100 °C, which was followed by second endothermic effect in the temperature range of 320 – 390 °C. The first endothermic effect is assigned to the melting point. As the onset temperatures in both tests do not deviate by more than 0.5 K from their mean value of 92.80 °C, this temperature can be used as melting point. The test item has a melting point of 92.8 °C.
As supporting information the melting point was described as 91.5 °C in a reliable data collection (reference 4.2-1).
